Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo out there. I know Halloween is tomorrow, but we usually celebrate on a Friday or the day of, and we were all going to come in dressed up as our characters, but that didn't happen. Yeah, it didn't happen because we all decided to stay home. There's proper protocol just in case because, you know, when you hear somebody that was in the studio may have been in contact with somebody who tested positive for COVID. It's like, you know what, let's take some proper precautions. Even though I had a test yesterday because I have to do something on Monday,

which requires me to go into another studio. So I had to take a test yesterday afternoon, actually. And, you know, I'm negative. But, hey, if everybody wants to take proper precautions, I totally understand. Even though I wanted to come in dressed up today. Me too. Now, I will say though, everything happens for a reason though. I'm not going to lie, that extra hour of sleep this morning

was slapping. It hit different. I'm not going to lie. I needed it. It sure did. Alright, well, Angelina, you never dress up for Halloween. Why not? I'm just curious. I told you, ever since I was young, it's never really been a thing. Growing up in Brooklyn, I was never allowed to go trick-or-treating. Eating candy has never been a thing?

My parents would just buy it for me the next day, half price. Damn. Is that bad? Yeah, man. I think I might have dressed up once. Somebody cue the sad music. At least I grew up Jehovah Witness. I got a way better excuse.

And the one time I did dress up, I wasn't able to go trick-or-treating because I used to take piano lessons, and I was allergic to cats, and my piano teacher had a cat, and I had a really bad allergic reaction that day. That's dope. And I ended up not being able to go. That's dope. You could have added it to your costume. Could have just said it's part of the costume, whatever the rash was.

My eyes were all swollen. I couldn't see. Yes. That's amazing. That's an amazing halloween costume looks so real i always wonder how that how that affected you as an adult like do you want to do more childhood fun things because you weren't allowed you never went to disney world you know you couldn't go trick-or-treating with your friends you know you had to stay on the stoop you know you didn't see lion king like i wonder like as an adult do you do more like other kiddie things because you miss that stuff?

Kind of like Michael Jackson. Like, you know how Michael Jackson always did, like, the kiddie things because he didn't have a childhood? No, I don't do kiddie things. And I was allowed to leave the stoop, but when I was, like, six, I couldn't. I wasn't allowed to leave the stoop. I don't think that's a bad thing. You sure you don't have any childhood trauma from that year? You have an inner wounded child that might want to go to Disney World?

Maybe wants to just dress up for Halloween just once? Stay trick or treat. I've been to Six Flags. Six Flags, that's the same. That's cool. It's like you said, I've been to Action Park. It's not the same year. I haven't been to Action Park.

Six Flags is dope. It is dope, but it's not Disney World. Six Flags is dope. One is a 45-minute drive away, and the other one, you got to fly, you got to stay overnight. It's the excitement. Let's be clear, guys.

Disney World is very expensive. Yes, it is. But your parents didn't go because why? Because trick-or-treating, you can't have prices crazy. Your dad is still cheap to this day. You don't know if this is a trigger for her. I mean, Envy. And you're just steady just going. My dad, to this day. You don't know if this is a trigger for her, I mean, Envy.

My dad to this day will drive two hours out of the way to avoid paying a toll. Spend the money on gas, but he ain't pay that toll. We got inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame last night, too. It's official. Even though it was virtual.

I hate virtual everything. I really do. I'm still talking virtual. We do? You do? Yeah, I got mine in the mail. I got mine sent to my house. You got your award in the mail? Oh, now who's triggered? I didn't get mine. I'm not triggered.

I'm just mad now. You got your award in the mail? I didn't get no award in the mail. I got mine like three days ago. Really? Hold on now. I got a bunch of magazines. I got that too. I got my award already.

I'm going to go check the box and see if that is there. I'm about to go check right now. That box came from me. You know what's funny? When I started doing my little speech last night, I had to turn the camera off, right? Because Charlamagne was looking at me, and this big face was looking at me.

Because you was crying. I was. I did tear up, man. I meant a lot. You were tearing up. I know. And you was looking at me. You looked like you wanted to hug me, so I just had to turn the camera off. I would have hugged you if we was all on stage together. Why not? That's a good moment. Even though, you know, I wish we could have done it on stage in Chicago from the Broadcast Museum.

You know, because I've been to a Radio Hall of Fame induction before because I gave the intro speech for Wendy Williams back in 2009 when she got inducted. So that's a great moment, um, that we haven't gotten experienced, uh, because of COVID of course, but I don't know, whatever, man. So it's all God's plan. I'm not tripping. I'd rather have, uh, you know, gotten in to say that we're in as opposed to, you know, not gotten in. That's right.

Whatever. Well, the reason we are home, uh, the reason he'll be joining us this morning. Yes, he will be. That's the reason we're home right now. Well, the reason he did an interview with us, this was our first live interview since March, right? And what's so amazing, his album, because he's on TDE, his album is called New Beginnings.

So that's what it felt like, you know, having him in the studio after, you know, not being in the studio doing interviews for how many months? I don't even remember now. Like six months? Seven months? Yeah, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we'll be joined by Reason's new TDE artist, so we'll kick it with him. And we got front page news next.

What are we talking about, Yee? Yes, we are going to talk about the events that both Joe Biden and Donald Trump held in Florida yesterday. As you know, Tuesday is the last day to vote. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front-page news. Now, in Thursday night football, the Falcons beat the Panthers 25-17. What else are you talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about these rallies. Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump went head-to-head in Florida yesterday. The other thing that's happening right now is that we've had quite a swing up in the amount of coronavirus cases.

So far right now, there has been a new daily record with more than 88,000 new coronavirus cases yesterday. So Biden had a socially distanced driving rally in Broward County where he thanked everybody for wearing masks and for staying six feet apart. And he asked for people to change the course of the pandemic and choose science over fiction. And again, Donald Trump was also in Florida, and he's been campaigning there. And you know what they're saying, too?

There's been a huge uptick in cases of coronavirus in the places where Donald Trump has actually held these huge rallies. So Donald Trump was in Tampa. He appeared there with his wife, Melania Trump, also. Yeah, I mean, I understand that. I mean, people are out there protesting. They're not wearing masks. A lot of Trump supporters feel like they I mean, I understand that. I mean, people are out there protesting. They're not wearing masks. A lot of Trump supporters feel like they don't have to wear masks. So if you put them all together.

They're not out there protesting. You're going to get a coronavirus spike. They're not out there protesting. They're out there for Trump's rally. Oh, yeah, rallying. I call it protesting. But rally, yes. They're not protesting.

They're not protesting. I was going to drop off my vote today, but I saw Eric Holder on CNN last night, and he said vote in person because he knows Republicans are cheating. And he said a lot of the mail-in ballots are going to be discounted by the Supreme Court. So he wants people to pull up in person. I don't know what's going to happen on Tuesday, but I do know that it's not going to be normal. OK, whatever y'all think normal is, because none of this whole process has been normal. Trust me, Tuesday is not gonna be

normal it's not gonna be as simple as yeah everybody went out voted against donald trump and now he's gone no that's not another issue right now is uh hurricane zeta which has hit the gulf coast and inland at least six people have died more than 2.1 million customers are without power and they're saying that hurricane has affected a lot also with the power and voting so imagine you're in louisiana and you want to go vote in some of those locations because of power outages. You can't vote there. So right now they're trying to figure out where people can, yeah, can actually go. So that's yet another issue.

So on top of voter suppression, voter depression, which is just people not being enthused about, you know, the candidates. So they don't show up. Now you got to deal with Mother Nature. Wow. I can't. Tuesday's not going to be normal, guys and gals. All right. Well, that is your front page news.

All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open again. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

We still have the off-road portion to go.

I wanted to just say good morning to you, DJ Envy, Charlamagne, the God, Angela Yee. Thank you so much for taking my call. I wanted to call and let you all know that I was so impressed by always hearing you all push homeownership that I became a homeowner just a few months ago during this whole corona situation. I was afraid to step out on faith because I am a single woman. I'm newly empty nester. And I like you mentioned, like a lot of black people, there are so, whoever would help because my credit was there. But at the end of the deal, I realized I had to have so much down. So it is so, but it still

was so fulfilling to be able to accomplish such a task. And it's primarily because of you guys. And I thank you. And I ask that you continue to press our black people to become homeowners. Yeah, thank you so much. Well, congratulations.

Congrats, Mama. I'm glad. I love a story like that. Yeah, congratulations. Yeah, yeah. Doesn't it feel so good to walk in your own home and call it home? I'm a little indebted to my friends and family right now, but it's still it's no feeling like, there's no other feeling like knowing that you got a piece of your pie.

You know? So I your pie, you know. So I'm very, very thankful. I love it. Make sure you pay them people back. I've already paid a thousand of it back. But, of course, I'm working a lot of hours trying to get them paid off because I do appreciate them stepping in for me. Well, congrats, Mama. It takes a village sometimes. Can I throw out my cash app in case anybody is listening and wants to help?

Sure. Hey, why not? Pass the plate. Dollar sign, the Q, like Queen O-C, and it's 001. So let me say that again. The Q-O-C-001. All right. Well, congrats again, my ma.

This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? My name is Aaron from Detroit. Aaron, what up? Get it off your chest, brother. Good morning to you guys, first and foremost. Good morning. I always wanted to be on the Breast Club, but not like this.

Right now, my wife has been missing for 72 hours now. No. She's bipolar. It's last contraband. She was having a major episode. Her birthday was just this past Monday. And I was with her. And the next Tuesday, she was fine. She was having a major episode. Her birthday was just this past Monday. And I was with her.

And the next Tuesday, she was fine. But that afternoon, she called me. She was talking about suicidal thoughts and everything like that. I was trying to talk to her to get her to come back to me. She ended up, to make a long story short, she ended up flying all the way up to the UP, up to Mackinac Bridge. She flew over the bridge, got on west of US-2, went about 12 miles, crashed the car, and she's nowhere to be found. The car is there.

All her items are there. We didn't find her passports, her everything. Everything's in the car, but she's nowhere to be found. There's a lake right there because she can't come out. She was basically drowning herself in some water. But I had everybody out there, cops out there yesterday, helicopters, dogs.

I was out there. We're looking all over the place. I don't see footprints. We don't see a body. We don't see nothing. Last thing we know, there was a semi-truck that was right by the location at the time of the scene that was headed west on US 2. And he could be with her. We don't know.

So I just want to word out as much as we can as possible. If anybody can see her, her name is Chanel Denard. I've been texting. I don't know if y'all seen it on Instagram. I sent y'all photos and everything. I'm looking right now to see if I can find it. Okay, I don't see it on here, but send it to us right now.

Okay, I'm going to send it to you now. Her Instagram page should be Shanlee or Chanel Lee. If you pull up on YouTube, I mean on Yahoo and type in her name, Chanel, C-H-A-N-N-E-L-L-E, last name Denard, D-E-N-N-A-R-D, it'll pop up, missing person.

And y'all should be able to see everything. I feel so sorry for you, King. I feel sorry for you, King. I feel sorry for her as well. You know what I mean? Dealing with mental health issues. I've heard stories like that where people with bipolar just go missing. I really

feel sorry for you. My prayers go up for you, brother. I don't know what else to tell you. I'm not even going to sit here and act like I didn't understand your pain. And that she gets home safe. Me too. Thank you. Thank you. Hello, who's this Me too. Thank you. Thank you. Hello, who's this?

Hey, it's Lex from Miami. How are you? Good morning. Good morning. So I want to get off my chest. I woke up really triggered this morning. And just, I think it's, behold, the campaign, election season. We've got Trump here.

We've got Biden here. And I just feel like at this point, there's really no light at the end of the tunnel for black people when it comes to the candidates that we have. And it's choosing Biden is a must, but there really is no light at the end of the tunnel. And I feel like at this point, what we have to do is get mentally and emotionally sound and be on code amongst all of us so that we can prepare for what's coming ahead. No matter if it's with Biden,

no matter if it's with Trump and no matter if it's with Trump. And just to be prepared for Tuesday, like Biden said, it's a dark winter approaching. And at this point, I just need all of my beautiful black souls, kings and queens, to just really invest in themselves mentally and emotionally

so we can be prepared for the year and what's coming ahead. I agree with you because, man, our oppressor will never be our savior. Ever. Never. So I don't know. I was a racist Jehovah's Witness. Me too.

The last days, the end of the system. So I definitely feel like there's nothing for us in this earthly government. And everything that's to come to us is in the heavenly government. And all that we can do now is protect each other and just stay focused on what's ahead. I agree. It'll never happen, though, because black people aren't monolithic, so we'll never be on one page. But also, I grew up Jehovah's Witness, too. They've been telling us it's been the last days for a long time.

They have. But I feel like we're feeling it. We're feeling it We're seeing it You know about the fallen powers That's going to happen That's very true Yes America I agree with that

Yep Mental health is key black people Love you all Get it off your chest 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Naeem, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Lil Wayne and his endorsement of Donald Trump.

Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Lil Wayne appears to be a Donald Trump supporter now. He posted a picture with himself and Donald Trump. Just had a great meeting with Donald Trump. Besides what he's done so far with criminal reform,

the Platinum Plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done. So Donald Trump also retweeted that as well. I'm sure social media lost their mind. Of course. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I saw a lot of people weighing in on what they thought about his support of Donald Trump. And a lot of people also brought up things that Lil Wayne has said in the past.

Now, Roland Martin said, let me be clear as possible. Lil Wayne is stupid AF for posting this. His analysis of Trump's platinum plan is stuck on stupid. I would hope these other rappers like Killer Mike, Snoop, and T.I. would cuss this fool out for being a dumbass. If I had his number, I would. If Wayne wants to get educated about Trump's platinum plan, don't

go on ESPN or Fox Sports. Come on, Roland Martin. Unfiltered. Pick a day, Wayne. You clearly haven't read a damn thing in that one-page plan. Sounds like Rollins is trying to book a guest for his show. That's what that sounds like. I'm sure that he's very passionate and really cares about this as well because, honestly, I know a lot about the Platinum Plan

from listening to Roland Martin Unfiltered because he's going very in-depth on it. Yeah, but don't invite him on your show. Use your platform to just use that moment to be a teachable moment. Like, tell people why the platinum plan is not good for black folks. Don't invite Wayne on your show and say, come on my show and let's talk about it. Like, no, school the people. All right, well, they brought up this old video of audio of Lil Wayne.

He was doing an interview, and he had this to say about Black Lives Matter. Your thought on Black Lives Matter. What is it? What do you mean? The idea is that there's this movement called Black Lives Matter thinking that the rest of America didn't seem to understand that, that Black Lives Matter. That just sounds weird. I am a young, black, rich man.

If that don't let you know that America understands Black Lives Matter these days, I don't know what it is. That man white, he filming me. I don't know what it is. That man white, he filming me. I don't know what you mean. Don't come at me with that dumb, man. My life matter, especially to my Do you feel, though, connected to? I feel connected

to a damn thing that ain't got nothing to do with me. I understand why everybody's He did afterward apologize, though. I just want to say for those comments, this was like four years ago that he said that. He said he was agitated by the line of questioning because they asked him about his daughter.

And then previously he also said this on his Young Money radio. At the age of 12 years old, I shot myself. Police knocked on the door. I was right there. They knocked the door down. Everybody jumped over my body to go get the guns and drugs and whatever they could find. It took one guy to stop right there

and just cuss everybody that hopped over me out. Like, what the f*** are y'all doing? We called the ambulance. F***ing ambulance, do you not see this kid on the floor with this hole in his chest? He said, you, you drive. Pick me up. He brought me to the hospital room and made two and stood there and waited chest. He said, you, you drive. Pick me up. He brought me to the hospital room and made two and stood there and waited

until the doctor said he's going to make it. He was white as snow. The mother that hopped over me was blacker than me. I don't know what racism is. Yeah, I understand why everybody's playing those old clips because they're trying to show that Wayne has never cared about social justice issues Or black issues But I have to say when y'all do that

It does feel like when police shoot an unarmed man And people start digging up old dirt on the unarmed person To say, see? I think this picture with Trump Is enough to discuss Right, I mean The Young Money Radio one was just from Earlier this year, I think in June So it's not really that Oh, but I think the Young Money Radio one was just from Earlier this year, I think in June

So it's not really that Oh, but I think the point is that Lil Wayne has said himself, it's, you know His interests, and I know people around him Said he doesn't really watch the news Or pay attention to what's going on He probably isn't that Educated on what's happening

Right now with these upcoming elections He's been clear about that in the past I don't know why people have been so surprised. His stance has been the same for a long time. That's why I'm confused. I've never said, what does little Wayne think about Donald Trump or Joe Biden? And that's why this Wayne thing is so fascinating to me

because, really, I don't care. People speak out of both sides of their mouth on issues like this because on one side, people say, nobody cares what rappers have to say about politics but on the other hand y'all will spend all day caring about what this man has to say about politics when i tell you i don't care if little wayne wants to support trump i don't care like black people are not monolithic and i'm i'm actually here for black people thinking freely about their politics even if i don't agree with their politics yeah but i'm also here for people to,

I mean, look, Lil Wayne is somebody that people will say is their favorite rapper. They look up to him, and he's influential. Period. You gotta have a conversation with Lil Wayne to see why. You know what I mean? There's different reasons to why. He told you why in that caption. He gave you a whole caption as to why.

He told you why in that caption. He believes in the platinum plan. He thinks the platinum plan is going to you know give black people ownership but i'll be the first to tell you black people are not on the trump administration's agenda i don't care what the platinum plan says none of you none of those federal judges trump has given lifetime appointments to give a damn about black folks i don't care if it's biden or trump stop looking for your career oppressor to suddenly be your savior. It's not happening. It's not happening. Period.

All right. Now, Donald Trump and his administration spent $250 million on a coronavirus advertising campaign. And they were using celebrities for this campaign. But they actually had some guidelines, according to documents that were obtained. They said a top Trump administration official inserted partisan political interest into a taxpayer-funded public health campaign ahead of the election. This is all according to The Washington Post. They wanted to defeat despair and inspire hope around the pandemic, and they wanted to have entertainers participate. But a lot of people didn't make the cut. And the reason why is if you criticize Donald Trump ever, if you've ever supported Barack Obama,

or established yourself as a proponent of gay rights. For those reasons, then, some people got rejected. As a matter of fact, they rejected J-Lo because she made a political statement during her Super Bowl performance to address Trump's immigration policies. Justin Timberlake was rejected because he supported and endorsed Obama publicly

and supported gay marriage. Billie Eilish was rejected. She's not a Trump supporter, but stated that he is destroying our country and everything we care about. Eminem was rejected. Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, Jack Black, all of those people for any one of those reasons above.

And listen, when you hear stories like that, this is why I don't like people saying celebrities shouldn't speak about politics. Why not? Like if the celebrity you like endorses the candidate you like, then you're retweeting that person and loving their support. But if

they don't endorse the candidate you like, they shouldn't be talking about politics. I just think that's so weird. Like, if somebody like Wayne shouldn't talk about politics, then none of those people you just named should be able to talk about politics. Like, none of us are political operatives. That wasn't even a, yeah, this was about a coronavirus ad. Well, same thing.

Coronavirus, politics, whatever it is. Like, none of us are experts at any of those things. So why does any of our voices matter when it comes to those issues? Well, I think certain celebrities have been, like Killer Mike, T.I., certain people have been at the forefront and been involved in politics. So you can do both. But some people have said themselves that they don't really know anything about it and they don't care about it.

I think it's weird. I think there is a difference in people that we look at and say, okay, this person is somebody that's been keeping up on politics and paying attention to policies and watching the news and always been talking about it. And this person for the first time ever has made a political statement. This is the first political statement I've ever heard of. Snoop for the first time ever registered to vote.

Shaq for the first time ever registered to vote. Like, I don't know. Whatever. It's weird. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Now we got front page news coming up.

What are we talking about? Yes. Let's talk about what's going on with this hurricane and how it's affecting voting. All right. Now we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about? Yes, let's talk about what's going on with this hurricane and how it's affecting voting. All right. We'll get into that next. Don't forget the reason we'll be joining us next hour. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now on Thursday, football. The Falcons beat the Panthers 25-17.

Now what else are we talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about elections. Let's talk about what's happening with Donald Trump and Biden. They both were in Florida yesterday. At the same time, we have daily records of coronavirus cases, more than 88,000 new cases. Now Biden had a socially distanced drive-in rally in Broward County. Donald Trump, of course, was in Tampa.

He was upset, though, about the amount of people that were allowed to come because of socially distanced rules and all of that. At the same time, as we're getting ready for these elections, there's a hurricane, Hurricane Zeta, that has hit the Gulf Coast and inland. And it's left over 2.1 million customers without power and at least six people dead. What does that also mean for voting? What they are saying is that there's some power outages that presented problems for polling places and restoring power to those locations is a priority, but

they also have a task force that's been formed to ensure that there's alternate polling places for those that remain out of service. That's pretty scary. Yeah, man, like I said last hour, on top of voter suppression, on top of voter depression, people just, you know, not being enthused about either candidate, now you got to deal with Mother Nature. I'm telling you, whatever happens Tuesday is not going to be normal.

People do know we won't find a winner Wednesday. I know a lot of people think on Wednesday, oh, we'll wake up. No, no, no, no. It's going to take a long time. It's not going to be long. A lot of counties that hosted Trump rallies had a significant increase in COVID-19 cases. They've done these studies and an investigation on CNN. They said 17 Trump campaign rallies finds that 14 of the host counties had an increased rate of new COVID-19 cases one month after the rally.

So out of those 17 rallies that he had, 14 of those counties that hosted them had a huge increase in the amount of coronavirus cases. That's why it's important to socially distance right now. And yeah, that is your front page news. All right. And let me say again, thank you to everybody out there for all the congratulatory comments and texts and DMs. Yesterday we were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. Oh, yes. And I did get my award.

My award is sitting there. You didn't get your award, Charlemagne? I'm sure I did. I just haven't went upstairs. What kind of box was it in? Mine came from iHeart. So I don't know if yours went directly to the house, but mine came from iHeart. So it's just a regular box. I haven't seen

it up there yet. I'll go look. Just send me a picture of what the award looked like so I know what I'm looking at. Alright. Now when we come back, we have Reason. Now he's a TDE artist. He gets busy. He has a new album out and we're going to talk to him when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The gets busy. He has a new album out and we're going to talk to him when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. And we got a special guest in the building. Yes, very important to note that we haven't had any guests. The last

guest we had. February. March. March 22nd. It was Andrew Yang. That's the last guest we actually had in the building. So this is the first guest we've had since the whole pandemic. Seven months. Seven months.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have reason. I broke the curse. Well, let's hope so. Now I wanted to make an exception for you because I f*** with your music heavy. I appreciate that. I first noticed you on the freestyle with the L.A. Leakers when you noticed my skincare routine. You're gracious. A lot of little n***as getting pissed because they ain't me.

It's crazy. Look, roll to the top. They couldn't keep the pace with me every day. I'm Charlamagne. Envy face to face with me. Lighten up. What inspired that? Envy, actually.

You know what I mean? It all went together. It was dope. I thought it was tight. I thought it was tight. It's funny because it's like the internet runs with so many things.

There was actually people talking about like that I dissed y'all after that. And I'm just like the internet is crazy. We've been dissed before. We didn't take that as a diss.

They think you diss everybody. They think I diss. Honestly, I'm at a point where every time I say anything about anybody, it's a diss. So I just, like, it is what it is at this point. Let's talk about, for people that don't know who you are, let's talk about you signed to TDE. How'd you get into the rap game? How'd you get with TDE?

Let's start from there. Really just grinding a lot in L.A. Like, I was on the underground scene for a minute, and I was just one of them dudes that took any opportunity I could. I actually met y'all, like, a long time ago in Jack and for Beats. I remember that. I was in that contest, yeah, so, like, doing stuff like that, I kind of started bubbling in L.A., and I had a release

party that ended up having, like, 300 people there, but one of my managers now, he came to the release party. He was an uncle of one of my friends, and so apparently he was managing Q at the time, I didn't know. And he sent Top like a video at a release party. It had a bunch of people there, but Top's not impressed by anything.

And so then I had a show like two weeks later, and he bought like 20 tickets to the show and just brought a bunch of s*** from TDE. And I met Top's son, Musa, and then maybe like a couple months later, I was signed. Now, were Envy and Yee nice to you at the Jack of the Bees thing? They weren't paying attention, I'm going to be honest with you. I feel like I lost because of that. Like, Envy was, Angela Ye was taking selfies and rapping their heart out.

I know you pay attention to stuff like that because you on stage, you're like, oh. When you, like, not sign, you think every opportunity is an opportunity to get signed. That's truly how you feel. Like, so you're like, oh, I'm going to rap and then they're going to take me to the breakfast club and then I'm going to get signed by Androscope. That's how you think every single opportunity.

But yeah, it wasn't that big of a deal. You didn't win? I did not win that one. Damn, who was the judge? We were judging? Y'all was judging. I picked you. What's the name?

Damn, what is his name? He picked the other person. It was Kidding. Yeah, it was Kidding. Kidding. He came super, super late. So he didn't even judge me. And then he judged the **** that came on after me.

Could you have signed somewhere else? I'm sure there were people like Dreamville. I'm sure there were so many other labels that were actually courting you. Well, I tell people this. I actually thought

I was going to sign to Dreamville because I kept running into Eve from Dreamville. So I gave this **** my music like five times. And so I kept running into him. I'm like, sooner or later,

I'm going to sign with Dreamville. Did they offer you a deal? Nah, he never listened to the music. And it was funny. We was at the TV. I mean. We was at the Dreamville sessions, and I was telling him about it. And he was like, for real? I was like, yeah, bro, like I met you at Bossa Nova.

I met you here. I'm telling this to you every time I met you. And then he looked up his email, and he pulled up the song. He like, wow, like these songs are in my email. Like, yeah. Damn it, man. You know, Windows Cry is dope because all of your anxiety that you have being on TDE, you expressed in my email. Like, yeah. Damn it, man. You know, Windows Cry is dope because all of your anxiety that you have being on TDE,

you expressed in that song. How did you top and punch and the label react to that record? It's funny because I use music as just like a way to therapeutically get s*** off my chest. Like, I'm not good at, I think like a lot of black men,

I'm not good at talking about s***. And for me, I would never even plan on playing it for the label. It was just something that I wrote and I played it for Kyle Banks, the producer. And he was the one that convinced me to play it for Musa. And so when I played it for Musa, Musa was like, this shit's hard to me.

Like, you should play it for my pops. I'm like, I'm not playing it for your pops. Like, I'm playing it for you. Like, I'm not playing it for your pops. And then one day I was in the studio. I'm drunk with rock, and when I'm drunk, I make bad decisions. And so I played it for Top. And so when I played it for him, Top actually, actually like he loved it um he was the only reason why

it even came out top told me to put it as the outro the gossip was the outro but that's why i put them is because they're okay with me being myself and being honest uh top tell me all the time like that's why i signed you is because you're a very honest and outspoken artist like all of my artists have felt this way on Windows Cry, but they've never expressed it. And you went and made a whole song about it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but you said you didn't even know what's in your contract. Like, how much of that is rapping?

How much of that is... No, that was a fact. My boy LT. I didn't know because I was working a job, and they gave me the contract. What job were you working in? I was working at this place called Tech Systems. I was an IT recruiter.

Like, basically, I recruited people for IT. And so I was working at this place called Tech Systems. I was an IT recruiter. Like, basically, I recruited people for IT. And so I was working at that job, and I used to, we had to take people to lunches for our job or whatever. And so I would lie and say I'm going to a lunch and go meet with labels when I started bubbling to have a label meetings. And so I went down there to get the contract, and my lawyer came with me, LT, and he had the contract, and he was going over it. But I didn't know what was in this. But when I left, I was like, I'm not turning down a deal from TDE. Like, I'm going to sign it. But I really don't know what's in this contract.

You signed the first deal they offered you? I signed the first deal that TDE offered me. But I did talk to Top before signing it, though. And he told you to take your time, right? Yeah, he did. He allowed me to take my time. He was like, go home, you know, read it over with your family. Take your time.

I got you for $13. Don't even worry about it. Just space jam more on Mountain. Like, you good $13. It's Space Jam, Moral Mountain. Like, you good. So when your lawyer didn't, like, redline anything? Well, I did redline shit, and I called him on the phone and had a conversation with him. But what I like about Top so much is that Top is just a real shit

as far as, like, he was just like, look, the contract is a standard contract. Like, I want you to be here. You know what I mean? So anything that you feel some type of way about, we can figure that out. But, nah, that was real, though. Like, at the time, I didn't know what was in my contract. And it's funny because when I wrote the record, then my lawyer, LT, called me. He was like, let's go over this contract.

Like, since you think so. Hey, reason, I don't approve. I don't approve of that decision. Hey, I'm not going to. No, it was, honestly, it was definitely, like, not a smart decision. But, I mean, I'm not going to lie. Like, I was a struggling artist. And after I, like, went over the contract with my lawyer, I still would have signed it.

So, I'm glad to say that it wasn't one of those situations where I signed it and regretted it. How many IMTD you got you for? I don't want to get into that. Do you own your publishing? Yes. Okay, you should hesitate. Because it's, yeah, that's why I'm trying to, like, I've been working on this PR thing and, like, not saying, wow. I've been getting in trouble some, Charlamagne.

I know that, you know, people don't pay attention as much, but I've been in trouble a little bit. So I'm trying to, yeah, I'm trying to work on it. Were you expecting massive success when you first signed the TDE, though? I'm not going to lie. I thought I was going to go crazy. I was like, oh, as soon as they announce me, I'm going to have 200,000 followers. Like, I thought I was just going to go completely crazy.

And then you get that reality check. Like, just because you signed a CD, that's just a stamp. Like, you still got to put the work in. You know what I mean? And then you also think that certain s*** is going to come with you. Like, oh, I'm signing a CD. I can get a feature from anybody. Like, no, that's not the case either.

Like, s*** have relationships. You know what I mean? You have to deal with those. You can get features in your camp. Oh, yeah, I can get features in my camp. You didn't push up hard enough, though. I didn't push hard enough on the dot feature. I should have pushed harder on the dot.

I got ad-libs. You got some Kendrick on this one. What Kendrick on this one? You got some ad-libs. Yeah, I just should have pushed harder. Like, I was nervous, like, with dot and shit like that. He gave me ad-libs. I'm like, I want a verse, but I don't really want to ask him.

You know what I'm saying? But I should have just asked him because dot is cool. Like, it's not hard to get a feature in the camp. That's kind of disrespectful, though. Who got some ad-libs on you? The ad-libs of disrespectful, though. Who's Adlib on your name? The Adlib? Well, not. The record.

Why are you in power to put feature Kendrick Lamar? I wanted to. Top was like, he's not on the record. I mean, when I heard that, I was like, oh, he is. That's what I said.

I know a Kendrick Adlib. That's what I said, man. That's what I'm saying. Like, me and Top had that conversation. Like, that was my argument. I'm like, this is on my, he's on my album. I don't understand. For me what I'm saying. Me and Top had that conversation. That was my argument. I'm like, this **** is on my album. I don't understand.

For me, that's a... I don't know. That just adds a different element to it. When you say, yo, I want you to do ad-libs. Even when Ye did that with Jeezy, I'm like, okay, that's dope. And that's really how I approached it. Ad-libs is not a verse? I did because the song was done.

And so I asked him to do the ad-libs. And then I played it for my boy. Oh, is that a way to be like, yo, can you do some ad-libs? No, I'm not going to lie. So I was listening to Redemption a lot. And he did the **** on Wind. then I played it for my boy. Oh, is that a way to be like, yo, can you do some ad-libs? No, I'm not gonna lie. So I was listening to Redemption a lot, and he did the s*** on Wind, and I thought that that was hard. So I was like, yo, this record is crazy. I want his ad-libs on it. So I asked him,

and then when he did the ad-libs, and I played it for my boy, he was like, damn, I thought that was about to spit a verse. That would've been crazy. And then I was like, s***, I should've asked him. Did you send it to him with an open verse, though? You should've sent it to him with an open verse. So what I did was I hit him back and I was like yeah man these ad-libs

is crazy I just feel like we should try to like add another element to it and I was just kind of waiting like you weren't specific you wanted him

to hit you back like I think I might lay a seat I might just lay a seat I would be like oh that's crazy I was thinking the same thing

I'm like damn look how that worked out but yeah he was just like yeah that's tight alright we got more with Reason, new artist from TDE. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Reason. You talk about influences, right? And you're from the West Coast, so people will automatically think your influence is, well, your snoops and your pops and your dots. But, you know, reading. I've got to be honest.

Reading and coughing like three, four times. I heard that Carson COVID hit a little different. I've been tested for COVID like 19 times. He's been fighting that cough the whole time. He's like, I can't cough. I've been tested for COVID like 19 times. I'm so over these COVID tests. Straighter room, Dan.

Just one time. It's ample. But they say some of your influences were like Lil Wayne and Fabulous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk about that, too, because I would never expect, you know Lil Wayne and Fabulous. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So talk about that, too, because I would never expect, you know, Wayne and Fab as somebody that influences. Yeah, like I don't really have no West Coast influences, to be honest with you. Of course, I like West Coast music.

Yeah, I don't. And I feel like that's why I rap the way that I rap, is because I was super influenced by New York culture in general. It's tight to me, like when you do different metaphors and, you know, clever wordplay and shit like that, that's always been something I was into and that's not nothing that the West Coast was doing. We were just kind of like vibing and

Razzcast. Yeah Razzcast for sure for sure. It was either a vibe or it was just straight at you like Pac. You know what I'm saying? It was one of the two and East Coast was just like they were just gliding over records and I just liked that. Reason you said you're already working on your next project and it's going to be even more personal than this one? It definitely is which is crazy because people were hitting me like damn you were so personal. I just like that. Reason, you said you're already working on your next project. Yeah. And it's going to be even more personal than this one?

It definitely is, which is crazy because people were hitting me like, damn, you were so personal. I'm like, damn, that's not even like half of the shit that I really, really wanted to talk about, you know what I mean? But to give you an idea, like Slow Down was on my album. That's the level of personal that the album is going to be. Slow Down, you talk about the guilt of making a woman get an abortion. I don't like the word make.

No, but I get you. But definitely, I talk about the fact that, you know, guys do that. You know, we push women to do things that we want them to do. We kind of like kindly shove them that direction. You know what I mean? What scared me was that I didn't feel guilty about it afterwards. And then you talk about

being a father one day and then thinking about what if you have a daughter? Exactly. What if she meets a guy that puts her through the same thing and then he don't care? You know what I'm saying? You said you got three? Three daughters. How is that? My wife's vagina.

No, I'm saying. Came together, virgin bees. I'm saying, how is it having three daughters? Oh, oh, oh. You guys are idiots. Oh, man. It's 12, 5, and 2. So, you know, they still at that young age.

You know, the 12-year-old is, you know. That's what I'm about to say. She's close, though. Yeah. So, you know, you got to monitor things like social media and stuff. But, I mean, I feel you exactly what you're saying. Like, you don't want to see your daughters go through anything that you may have put a woman through. Yeah, man.

Things you see other women go through. And it's like, it's that old myth that it's karma. Like, it's like it's karma for everything that you've gone through. Like, I pray. I pray almost all the time that I don't have daughters. I'm not gonna lie to you like I went through a wild phase where it's like I was really just doing like stupid reckless shit. You know what I mean? You went through your whole phase. Yeah.

Everybody goes through it. That's what I'm saying like and it's like it's something that like guys can't really talk about because I feel like women don't understand that. You know what I'm saying? But I went through that phase and so it's like I definitely be feeling about because I feel like women don't understand that. You know what I'm saying? But I went through that phase, and so I definitely be feeling like, damn, I'm going to have karma because of that. I think women go through that phase, too. They just don't say it, don't talk about it,

don't speak about it. They're better at hiding it. I think women whole phase be like, oh, my God, I slept with two guys in the same week. I know you had a long-term relationship. Did you go through your whole phase right after that? It was in the middle towards the end, and then after. So it was like it overlapped, and that was why we broke phase right after that? It was, like, in the middle towards the end. Like, and then after.

So it was, like, it overlapped, and that was why we broke up. Because of the fact I was like, if I'm going to be wilding like this, and I love this girl so much, it don't make sense for me to still be here. Why do you guys do that? Why do you all wild out even though you love somebody so much? Because sex isn't connected to love, necessarily. And honestly, I'm going to say this. Like, and I'm probably, hey, whatever, here it is.

I feel like women should give men that are faithful credit for that. Women will act like it's the same thing as a woman being faithful. And it's like, it's not the same thing. Like, honestly, it's not. But I just feel like you get a little bit of credit for that. Like, I do. But look, you know something. So wait a minute.

Let me ask you this, though. I feel it for that. Since love and sex aren't connected. Okay, pump your chest up if you want. No, already not say I feel it. I'm sorry, you're good. When you're cheating, though, you don't think about your girl? Like, you don't, it doesn't even.

What? Like, you never feel guilty, like, while you're doing it? No, I have felt guilty, but it's like, it's also like you thinking about, like, okay, this is the only life that I have to live. Like, am I really going to, like, like, especially when you're in a relationship young, you're like, okay, I'm 22 and I'm in this relationship, like, but I'm 22. Like, I want to experience things, but I also don't want to lose this girl because I love her to death. You know what I mean? And so the two really aren't connected. I'm just trying to live. But at the

same time, if I tell you that I want to live, then you're going to leave. So now here comes my selfish side and I'm going to choose to kind of do me, but still try to keep the relationship and try to keep her respectful. And that's why I said, like, once I started feeling like I was getting disrespectful with it was when I left, because I was like, I never want to be disrespectful with that, even though I know women are going to be like, cheating is disrespectful anyway. But, yeah, I never want to be. Did she ever cheat on you? Not to my knowledge, but I'm the type of person, like, I don't ask questions I don't want to know the answers to.

Yeah, man. Really? She ain't never asked, yo, how big was it? Now that's a Charlamagne question. He might just ask that for no reason. I'm not asking that. Really? I don't go through phones or nothing because I don't want to know. Charlamagne's wife cheated on him.

King, King, King, do you want to have these conversations, King? Nah. Nah. I'm an Amoebian person. But what you said is true, right? You got crazy. I didn't know it. What you said is true because, like, I haven't cheated since October 2016.

That's fire. And I, that shit feel like being sober. Like, literally, I write that down in my mindfulness goals. And the reason why I say this is because I feel like if women gave men credit for that, then men would appreciate it and it would encourage them to not do it more. It's almost like it's just like, like, OK, and you was being faithful. You supposed to do that. It's like it is a difference.

Like and it's just not the same thing. I feel like it just doesn't come up. If your man isn't cheating on you, then you're not talking about it because everything's fine. Like with that. True. But I'm just saying, like, if you have a dude and he's faithful, like, I think that, like, you don't necessarily have to say thank you for being faithful. Baby, did you cheat today? You don't got to say thank you for being faithful.

I'm just saying that. Go start. It should be looked at and given credit to. You get what I'm saying? Like, in my opinion, because it's like, it's something that, like, is not an easy thing to do for men. It's hard for women to not cheat, too, though. Y'all got to give us credit, too. What?

That's what I'm saying. It's all kind of all of us in Birkin bags flying around. Some women. I know these Birkin bags. No more Birkin bags for a cheat that can't afford one. That can't afford one. 2020, man. That's what I'm saying.

No, but I'll tell you why I give myself credit. I give myself credit because I feel like when I was cheating, I was feeding my ego. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's literally all it is. That's really what it is. That's all it is. That's really what it is. It's all an ego play.

So being that I haven't done that in four years, I realize that I'm not leading with ego anymore. I don't have that wounded ego anymore. You know what I mean? I feel more hold and healed. I think the industry does it, right? Because when you're a kid and you look at all these videos, all your rappers,

this is what you see. So when you get into that world, it's like, I'm here. It's definitely a culture thing. And then you realize, damn, I'm about to ruin the best thing I have over some shit that... Over some shit that don't mean nothing. And it's definitely a culture thing. Like, I lived for two years in Iowa because I was playing basketball out there. And they don't have the same culture as us.

And out there, like, everybody gets married at, like, 20 and nobody cheats. Family, house, setting. Yeah, exactly. Like, that's a thing. So it's definitely a culture thing that's been driven by, that's, yeah, exactly. Like that's a thing. So it's definitely a culture thing that's been driven by, you know, everything, sports,

hip hop, music, West Coast music was the worst. Yeah. I love that record. Love it. That's amazing. That massage of me over the beat is incredible.

Yeah, that's a fact. That's a fact. Like, yeah. And it's also funny to see in hip hop, how it's like, it's transitioned to like now,

like women are having like the same content that men have. People are so mad about it. And then men also funny to see in hip-hop how it's transitioned to now women are having the same content that men have. And then men be mad. I'm like, we've been saying bitches ain't shit for years. And y'all mad that they saying, you know what I mean, tricking out at 30,000 or whatever the case may be. We've been saying the same shit for years. Alright, we got more with

Reason, new artist from TDE. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Reason. Yee. When you beef with one member of TDE, is it you beefing with everybody? I would like to think so, but nobody's done it.

So I would want to say yes. You get what I'm saying? So I would like to think so, but nobody's really beefed with none of us to that level. You get what I'm saying? People have thrown little shots at the you know, the label and shit, but it ain't never been nothing that nobody jumped out the window. How old were you during the East Coast, West Coast beef? I was young.

Probably like 10. I would think that would have been the pinnacle of all rap beef ever. Like, people would have said after that, you know what? It's like, yeah, it'll never, I don't think it'll ever be like that again. You get what I'm saying? Because that was like a real problem. It could have got close, though. I think that Drake and Meek could have got close. It could have, for sure. And I think that that's why they squashed it, which was dope. You know what I'm saying? Because that was like a real problem. It could have got close though. I think that Drake and Meek could have got close.

It could have for sure. And I think that that's why they squashed it, which was dope. You know what I'm saying? Like, I think that it was dope because it was like, all right, let's not go

any farther than this. Like, we both put out our records, you know what I'm saying? And let's just move on from it. Pac was one of those hypocrites you talk about because he's the same guy who may keep your head up,

but then walk in hypocrite. First line. That's why I f***ed your bitch. That's what I'm saying. I don't f*** nothing wrong with that. I feel like everybody is a walking hypocrite. Like, we all, like, we're human.

We have moments and days where, you know, this day, I feel this way, and this day, I feel that way. You know what I mean? And that's one of the reasons why I feel like people like Pac was because of how honest he was. Like, he would literally tell you,

like you said, keep your head up, and then the next moment, you know, f***ing yell the middle finger to the camera, you know, that type of crazy shit. I feel like nowadays, though, like, saying that I f***ed your bitch and stuff like that, people kind of look down on it because they get mad when people talk about that, and they be camera, you know, type of crazy shit. I feel like nowadays though, like saying that I f*** your bitch and stuff like that, people kind of look down on it

because they get mad when people talk about that and they be like, you know, that's some chatty patty s*** that you f***ing talking about. And I also feel like it's just about your security.

Like if you're not secure with the fact that your woman used to sleep with other rappers and don't date her. Like if I dated a girl that like, let's say, let's use Fabulous,

like I don't know Fabulous, let's say that Fab used to smash. Probably did. No, it's Fab. It's a that Fab used to smash. Probably did. No, it's Fabulous. It's Fabulous. It's a few you got to put on the list. Okay, she probably stuck with Fabulous. Let's just say it's old Fabulous. Short Drake knocked it off.

French probably. You know what I mean? You don't have questions for me. This is all hypothetical. This is all hypothetical. Go ahead. This is hypothetical. It would not bother me if Fab used to smash my girl.

It wouldn't bother me. Because he's one of my favorite rappers. It really wouldn't. It really wouldn't. Now, it wouldn't start bothering me. Now, I would purposely never befriend Fab. We could never be homies. You know what I'm saying?

But it wouldn't change the way I feel about his music. It wouldn't change his life. Would you ride to his music in the car with your girl? Nah. We can't play no Fab. Trade it off. We can't play no fat. Trade it off. We trade it off. We turn it off.

What if one day you put it on her and she goes, da-da-da-da-da-da. Damn. You put it. Oh, man. So if Logic wanted to reply to you, right, and throw some shots, who in your family should? Yeah, I heard he said he didn't know you were.

Yeah, that's a lie. So what happened with Logic for people that don't know? On the Soul part, too, he said, he basically said Logic was a coach about me. Yeah, I heard he said he didn't know you were. Yeah, that's a lie. So what happened with him and Logic for people that don't know? On the Soul part, too, he basically said Logic was a culture vulture. Yeah. If I didn't pronounce my name wrong, tell me that I ain't did much. See, y'all mistake my name for Logic. Y'all got me fucked up. How you compare to getting that take from the culture versus getting this for it?

This shit getting boring. My limits are soaring. The industry's snoring. Leave my city not again. I'm here to restore it. I'm here to explore it. I'm nipped to the court. Can you elaborate on that a few? Yeah, when I said

it, and I learned a lesson from that too just as far as explaining myself when I say stuff. I didn't mean a culture vulture as far as hip-hop. What I meant is that I felt like Logic, his whole career has always stood on the fact that he's a black man. Every interview, that's what he stands on. You know, I look this way, but I'm a black man, black man, black man. But I personally felt

like, you know know that he didn't stand hard enough for me as far as like the black lives matter movement and stuff like that so for me i'm like if you're gonna live this life from this culture like you gotta stand when it's time to stand you get i'm saying like that's how i feel like i hold every every single white rapper accountable that's living off of our culture like y'all should be standing the strongest when things like this happen so that's what I was talking about. And I know he's not white, but that's what I was speaking on.

But then, I'm not gonna lie, like, I had an interesting conversation with Punch, like, days later. And we was just having an honest talk, and Punch was like, you know, is it, he wasn't saying yes or no, he was just asking a question, like, is it our job to have to

speak up on social issues? You get what I'm saying? Like, and that was a question he raised, and I was like, maybe it's not. Like, maybe it's not. Maybe I'm tripping, thinking that it's our job. When he said, when Ladi said he didn't know who you were, how get what I'm saying? Like, and that was a question he raised, and I was like, maybe it's not. Like, maybe it's not. Maybe I'm tripping thinking that it's our job. When he said, when Logic said he didn't know who you were, how did that make you feel? It didn't bother me.

It let me know that it did kind of get under his skin a little bit, which wasn't the point of it, you get what I'm saying? Like, but it's like Logic, like, is a huge TDE and Kendrick fan. Like, you know who I am, bro. Like, so it doesn't bother me that he said it, but it's the way I would have handled it if I was in Logic's situation. Right, that way you're not really saying

nothing bad. You throw a shot, but you're not really, you're not giving him clout. You get what I'm saying? And you throw a quick little shot and then you get off of it. So I don't feel no type of way.

And it's also a thing where it's like, I don't mention people that I'm not fans of. Like, I was a fan of Logic. And I feel like in today's culture, it's like everything

is so sensitive that if you say anything about anybody, it's a diss. Like sensitive that if you say anything about anybody, it's a diss. Like people said I diss Mac Miller on my project. It's like, I'm become the next Mac Miller. Here's your chance. Look, it's signed here.

It's like, I'm not dissing Mac Miller. Like, people are just too sensitive nowadays. I mean, you're just stating the truth about his situation. It's like, I'm saying what I wish somebody would have said when he was alive. Like, you know what I mean? You got people around you. And this industry don't give a **** about artists. Like, when artists go through anxiety, depression, popping pills, all this other stuff,

they'll watch an artist literally crumble and just love the music. Instead of being like, how about y'all band together? Be like, no, we're not buying none of your music till you clean up. Like, actually care about an artist. So that's why I was speaking on it, and the fans that got mad about it,

I'm like, y'all are the problem because y'all care about Mac Miller, the artist. Y'all don't care about Mac Miller, the person. I don't know if you said, did you ever run into Logic or speak to Logic? Anybody put y'all on the phone because you said you were a fan? Nah, I never did.

And honestly, I would love to talk to Logic. I would love to talk to Logic and just tell him like, honestly, my bad. If I'm holding you to something that you don't necessarily want to talk about

because when I talk to Punch, I'm like, Punch is right. You know what I mean? You can't force everybody to talk about the issues that you want to talk about. So maybe I was out of line. You get what I'm saying? And I would love to talk to him about it if he was open to it. There's no can't force everybody to talk about the issues that you want to talk about. So maybe I was out of line.

You get what I'm saying? And I would love to talk to him about it if he was open to it. Let's go on Instinct because I want to talk about this because that was a big topic this week. You did say no more buying bags. It's just that can't afford one. It's safe to say you didn't agree with Saweetie's assessment that you have to buy bags and pay bills. No, that's stupid, bro. What's the most expensive if you ever bought somebody?

Exactly. I don't think I bought like a super. It was probably like $1,500. Like it wasn't nothing super, super crazy. It was a bag. Michael Kors? Nah. What bag was it?

I think it was Gucci. I think it was a Gucci bag. Yeah, it was like $1,500. Why did you say Michael Kors? I don't know. I just didn't think $1,500 would buy you a lot at Gucci or something. Yes, it will. I don't think if Michael Kors had, never mind, I don't want to **** on Michael Kors.

Don't talk that way. I don't know if they have a bag that's $1,500. Let me tell you something. You said you want to move to New York, right? Oh, here you go. Here you go. Let's see.

Just letting you know right now. Latino women in New York love Michael Kors. Do they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, I don't think they black women are. I'm with you.

How you know, Solomon? Huh? How you know? Back in my days, you know. Before 2016. Way before. Yes, way before 2016. He bought a bag and the whole family... Yo, King, King, King, King, King, King. You're right. You might. My 2016. Way before, yes, way before 2016. He bought a bag

and the whole family Yo, King, King, King, King, King, King. You might, you might, my bad. King. My bag.

What, King? You don't got a record? My bad. Jesus. Riz, let's get into a record off the top of the mountain. What you want to hear?

Yes, man. What do we want to listen to? Uh, man, um. It's so much. I like Sauce with Vinch Staples. I can make it with Rhapsody. Yeah, let's listen to I Can Make It. Yeah, because I love rap. Shout out to Rhapsody. All right, man. Well like sauce with Vince Staples. I can make it with Rhapsody. Yeah, let's listen to I Can Make It.

Yeah, because I love rap. Shout out to Rhapsody. All right, man. Well, introduce the record, brother. This is off my new project, New Beginners. This is I Can Make It featuring the homie Rhapsody. I can make you see that good hair look just like them BDBs. We can make it.

We can make it. ATVs on four wheel. I might get off course, but at least I ain't on the Porsche still. I can make it. I can make it. No matter the ordeal. In the porch still. I can make it. No matter the ordeal. In the ordeal. I'm a go.

I can make it wrong still. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk TI. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. All right, well, this all started with a restaurant in Atlanta. It's called Umi. It's a sushi restaurant, and there was a couple, Kaylin Colbert. She's an attorney. She said she and her husband made a reservation for a birthday dinner, but when they arrived, they could not get seated because her husband was wearing sneakers. Air Force Ones, ones to be exact and here's what happened because they started

filming inside has on Adidas? Is that okay? Wow, I'm sorry. Like, I understand. No, no, no. Does she have on a sneaker? No, no. Does she have on a sneaker? Do it now. This way to the bar. You own it. Come on. Come on. There's no fair for swans. Done. Oh, wow. It's clearly racism, right? Absolutely.

Right. He said he's been there before with sneakers on. There's another woman in there she has on Adidas. And they would not let him come in and get seated. And then the owner actually came, Farshid Arshid is his name. He's Iranian and he got involved too and they actually

got into a heated debate and at one point they had to be physically separated by the staff. He said he's going to jail tonight. I'm not letting Air Force Ones in my establishment. Well, this caused TI to jail tonight. I'm not letting Air Force Ones in my establishment. Well, this caused T.I. to go on social media to let people know that they were not going to be going to Umi Sushi anymore. He said, I see we are going to have to shut Umi Sushi down the way that we did Houston's. I've been made aware of some injustices that requires our immediate attention. We come in and you violate, we demonstrate. Well, now here is the owner with TI. I reached out to the Colberts several times since Friday.

And I said, through my connections and through how I've been in the community for so long, I can resolve the matter with the community. I can come to you and I can come to you and I can ask for resolution. And we can do a wrong right. I'm going to ask you guys for guidance, but we were 100% wrong at our operational and the way we handled the situation. No, I don't like that. He didn't have that energy with the brother when he was there. If he owns that restaurant, the customer should always be right, especially if the customer is telling you,

look, I understand you have a policy, but what's the difference between me wearing my white Air Force Ones and a white woman wearing her white Adidas? There is no difference. And instead of the owner just saying, okay, you're right. Well, you know what? Let's, let's, you know, I'm gonna make an exception, but usually this is not what we do. She was wrong. You just totally disrespect that brother. And then all of a sudden, when you get that little heat, now you want to talk. Now you want to have a conversation. Now you want to say, oh, I'm a sneaker head. No, I don't work like that, bro. That's clear-cut discrimination. Here's what T.I. says the resolution should be. He said the reason why he don't

have more diversity on his staff is because he don't get enough black applicants. So anybody who's looking for management positions and hosting, host, chefs, you know what I'm saying? Hey, listen, everybody who's saying it's all kept,

we got to give an opportunity. We got, this is a part of the process. You don't just got to go from zero to 100. You got to get through the process. That's what maturity and, you know, becoming a clear thinking adult is about. Conflict resolution. So anybody that wants a job,

now you can go ahead and work at Umi Sushi. Now, here's the other issue, though, is that the couple said that they have not accepted the apology. RG said he called Colbert 30 minutes after the incident and wanted to apologize and invite them back to the restaurant. He said he stayed in contact with them since the incident and he's tried to find a way to remedy the situation. Well, here is their response. You spoke to a gentleman without even reaching out to us. You didn't go to the issue. He never apologized on your video. All he spoke of was his connections and what he could do better for himself or his business. It wasn't about what's going on with us. He told us about his past.

He told how much he gave to Keisha Lance Bottoms, how much he knows all the celebrities in Atlanta, how they eat at all his restaurants. This isn't going to do anything. I have relationships with these people, and I'm just disappointed. I mean, they got a very valid point. I mean, you know, T.I. is definitely a leader in the Atlanta community, but that don't mean

that the couple who actually felt the disrespect has to accept that apology. That owner should be giving an apology directly to those individuals that he disrespected. Yeah, you can't speak for me. I was disrespected, and then you called me after. Why did you call me after? Because you started getting heat?

I was right there in your face, and he was being calm. He wasn't like he was being belligerent. He wasn't wiling out. He was like, yo, just explain it to me, and they're kicking him out. Nah, F you and your bitch, Ron. Well, they wilding out. He was like, yo, just explain it to me. And they're kicking him out. Nah, F you and your restaurant. Well, they felt a way that they felt like T.I. should have reached out to them and not to the owner of the restaurant. And T.I.

responded and said this. My only intention is just as it has been to speak on behalf of the people and represent the collective accordingly. I don't have no alliance or allegiance with the motherfucking Umi. I don't give a fuck if that shit shut down. I don't give a if that shit down. I went to the mother who I respect saying, hey, this you just posted.

He want to sit down with you, the owner. I said, all right, cool. This is a side that contacted me first. So then I asked EJ. I say, EJ, you got the old girl or whoever it is, the couple, you got their number? She say, no, I don't got it. But we didn't DM them. They DM them no answer. I got the couple's number from the couple. You got their number? She said, no, I don't got it, but we done DM'd them. They DM'd them no answer.

I got the couple's number from the mother****** owner. Listen, I can see both sides. I think it's just a clear, you know, misunderstanding. See, T.I. is about that action. You know what I'm saying? T.I. heard what happened, so he went right to the source. He went to the restaurant. But I do think that that couple should have been there with Tip

because that owner definitely O.O'd that couple an apology. Right, and if you hear what T.I. said, he said he did try to reach out to them and they DM'd them and didn't get a response. So not sure exactly. If he reached out to them and he DM'd them and he tried to reach out to them, I mean, where could he go wrong? I mean, if I don't know you, how can I get

in touch with you? I'm trying to get in touch with you, but I'm just trying to clear this up and make sure this never happens again to our people. And T.I. fights for our people, so it's not like he's doing this for clout or anything like that. He fights for us. And if you know T.I., he don't have to talk to the couple. After he reached out to the couple and they ain't reached back, he knew where to go. He said, I'm going to UMI. UMI discriminated against some folks

of mine. I got to stand on them. Simple as that. Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne, who you throwing that donkey to for this Halloween? I just need to talk to all of our folks, us, our community that is so easily, easily distracted. We'll talk about it for after the hour.

All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy here.

From my experience at an historically black college and university, I know that homecoming is a big deal. With the cancel this year, we decided to bring the celebration to you with HBCU Homecoming Party on the Yard. Presented by McDonald's. Hosted by me. McDonald's Black and Positively Golden Movement is about empowering the next generation of black leaders through initiatives like our HBCU programs that are positively shaping communities. Watch our HBCU homecoming party on the yard.

Presented by McDonald's on Thursday, November 12th. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day, huh?

I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They waiting for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. You had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you. This is a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today?

Donkey of the Day for Friday, October 30th. Hmm. I was sitting back thinking about this, and everybody is like, give Lil Wayne donkey of the day, give Lil Wayne donkey of the day. And my instinct immediately, my discernment told me, no, that's a waste of time at a time like this. And I guess that's why I have gathered you all around today during this donkey of the day, because if Tuesday, November 3rd, the last day to vote in this year's presidential election, if this is indeed the most important election of our lifetime and Donald Trump is indeed the most dangerous president of our lifetime, if all that is true, then why, oh, why are we all so easily distracted? First, let me catch you up to speed. Lil Wayne met with Donald J. Trump, and he tweeted a pic with Trump that says,

just had a great meeting with Donald Trump. Besides what he's done so far with criminal reform, the Platinum Plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done, end quote. Now, for those who've read the Platinum Plan, who have actually read it and can actually tell you what's in it, you know, I don't know some people say the platinum plan is just one page i don't care if it's one page that one page might say in the first hundred days i'm giving black people reparations it doesn't say that but it could on one page okay if all all i'm saying is

for those people who have actually read the platinum plan people like the good brother roland martin i understand you're disappointed seeing a black man like little Wayne with so much influence standing next to a fascist. But instead of calling Wayne stupid as F and calling him a dumbass and encouraging other black men to cuss him out, just school everyone else who may be watching on why the platinum plan is whack. I would also school people to the fact that

don't be distracted by that alleged $500 billion Trump plans to invest in black communities. Okay. Trust me when I tell you black people are not on the Trump administration's agenda, nor will we ever be. None of those federal judges he's given lifetime appointments to give a damn about black folks, period. All of our civil liberties are at risk. Okay. Actually, so many of our civil liberties have already been rolled back under Trump and his administration. But let's discuss what I think is the larger issue. If Tuesday is indeed the day,

the most important election of our lifetime, if it is indeed that, then act like it. How can y'all be so easily distracted at a time like this? When I tell you I don't care who Lil Wayne chooses to endorse, I truly don't care. People speak out of both sides of their mouth on issues like this. On one tell you I don't care who Lil Wayne chooses to endorse, I truly don't care. People speak out of both sides of their mouth on issues like this. On one side, people say nobody cares

what rappers have to say about politics. But then on the other side, y'all, the general public, will spend all day caring about what this man Lil Wayne has to say about politics. That's all you did all day yesterday was tweet about Lil Wayne's opinion on politics. And this morning, morning radio shows like The Breakfast Club, TV talk shows, if they aren't already pre-taped, will discuss what they think about Lil Wayne's opinion on politics. Once again, when I tell you I don't care if Lil Wayne wants to support Trump, I don't care for a few reasons. Number one, when I vote, I vote my interests. Some of my interests are self-serving, but they're my interests, okay?

There are also things that benefit a large majority of people, like mental health. That's why I'm voting for Senator Kamala Harris, because I love her mental health plan. I want that in the White House. George Floyd Policing Act. I want to help flip the Senate so we can get that passed. Those are things that I care about. So I don't need anyone's endorsement to help me with my voting decision.

Number two reason I don't care if Wayne or any other black person wants to support Trump is black people are not monolithic. I don't care how many of us you see with dredging tattoos. We are not monolithic. And I'm here for black people thinking freely about their politics, even if I don't agree with their politics. Is Lil Wayne being used as a pawn? Sure. But what's the saying?

If you can't be used, you're useless. Just don't let people misuse you. Is the Trump administration misusing Lil Wayne? Sure. That pic they posted yesterday did exactly what it was intended to do. Cause confusion. Got all of us distracted. Instead of talking about the most important election of our lifetime,

we spent hours talking about Lil Wayne and who he chose to endorse. I also want us to be very careful in regards to how we come at Lil Wayne in regards to his endorsement of Donald Trump, because what you say about Wayne could apply to you or your favorite celebrity. I'm on record saying I don't care if it's a celebrity or a person who delivers packages for Amazon. If you are an American, you have the right to an informed opinion about who you want to vote for. OK, your vote is your right, period. And once again, I'm all for black people thinking freely about their politics, even if I don't agree with their politics. But we have to be careful because if we shouldn't listen to Wayne about politics and who to vote for, then who is qualified to be listened to?

See, if Wayne would have endorsed Biden, you'd be retweeting and loving his support. But since he didn't endorse your candidate, he shouldn't be talking about politics? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Are y'all telling Lil Wayne to shut up and rap? Well, dig this. If Wayne shouldn't speak on politics, none of us in entertainment should. None of us are political operatives, strategists, campaign managers.

Why should people listen to us when we tell them who to vote for? Why should people listen to Cardi B? Why should people listen to LeBron James with his more than a vote campaign? Why should people listen to Cardi B? Why should people listen to LeBron James with his more than a vote campaign? Why should people listen to Diddy with his vote to die? I'm just trying to see what are the qualifications here, okay? Is it celebrities are only allowed to endorse who you are voting for, but if they don't, they aren't qualified?

I'm confused. But once again, I'm fine with black people thinking freely about their politics, even if I don't agree with their politics. Look, folks are allowed to be wrong. Voting is a constitutional right. So if you want to be on the wrong side of history, that's on you. I think Wayne's endorsement of Trump is loud and wrong, but he has the right to be that. All I'm telling y'all is don't spend these last few days focusing on what you see as

a problem. If you truly believe the solution is voting, because the most important election of our lifetime is Tuesday, stay focused. You're going to see some very strange things all weekend. It's going to be a lot of distractions. We have bigger issues to deal with. I know everybody is enthused by the early voter turnout, but I saw Eric Holder,

former attorney general Eric Holder on Don Lemon last night, and he said Republicans are cheating and we should all vote in person because he believes mail-in ballots will be discounted by the Supreme Court. Then you hear people say early voting is cool, but that Republican walk-up on Tuesday is going to be crazy. You know, people actually going to the polls, Republicans are going to be massive.

Then you have some people saying black voter turnout is down in key swing states like Michigan and Florida. Then you have some people who say Biden is going to win in a blowout. Then some folks say it's going to be tight and Trump can get blown out in the popular vote, but still win the electoral college. I don't know what's going to happen Tuesday. I just know it's not going to be normal. Okay. None of this has been normal and it won't end normal. And I don't have time and neither do you to be distracted at a time like this. If this is indeed the most important election of our lifetime, act like it. Please give all our people who are so easily distracted at a time like this, the biggest here. All right. The same. Alright, the same energy you had, you know, from

Wayne, use that energy to work in some polls or post on social media to tell folks where to drop their ballots off early or encourage people to, you know, actually go vote in person if they haven't done, you know, absentee ballots yet. You know, post real information about the candidates you are voting for

to combat all the misinformation that we know we're going to see over the next few days. That's all I'm saying. Alright, well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, let's talk Reason. Reason was here earlier and he said this. I feel like women should give men

that are faithful credit for that. Women will act like it's the same thing as a woman being faithful. It's just not the same thing. I feel like it just doesn't come up. If your man isn't cheating on you, then you're not talking about it because everything's fine. Like with that. True.

But I'm just saying like, if you have a dude and he's faithful, like I think that like, you don't necessarily have to say thank you for being faithful. You don't got to say thank you for being faithful. I'm just saying that it should be, it should be looked at and given credit to. You sure you want to go down this road?

No. This is what y'all wanted to do. What's the question? I got a happy home. What's the question? 800-585-1051. What is the question? Should you get credit for being faithful?

Now, when you say credit, what do you mean credit? I'm just going off what Reason said, young man. I can talk about this when we come back. All right. Should you get credit for being faithful? He's saying it's a hard thing to do, and so women should give men credit for being faithful, and that's it, period.

That's what he thinks. All right, let's talk about it. Instead of saying it's something you're supposed to do, because he knows that if you're in a relationship, you're supposed to be faithful right alright let's talk about it when we come back 800-585-1051 it's the Breakfast Club good morning

call in right now call me add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic break it down 800-585-1051 the Breakfast Club call 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club.

Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about reason. Now, he checked in earlier, told us about his album. We spoke to him in detail, but he did say this, and we wanted to bring this up. Can we play a clip of what he said?

I feel like women should give men that are faithful credit for that. Women will act like it's the same thing as a woman being faithful. It's just not the same thing. I feel like it just doesn't come up. If your man isn't cheating on you, then you're not talking about it because everything's fine with that. True, but I'm just saying if you have a dude and he's faithful, you don't necessarily have to say thank you for being faithful. You don't gotta say thank you for being faithful.

I'm just saying that. Go star. It should be looked at and given credit to. It's Halloween. It's a spooky topic. Yes, it is. So, what is the question? 800-585-1051. What is the question we're asking? I guess the question is, should you get credit for being faithful?

For being faithful. Have I ever given somebody credit for being faithful? No. You shouldn't get credit for being faithful. That's like giving credit for watching the kids. I'll tell you what, though. I do give my boyfriend credit for being supportive of me. Like I tell him, because I know sometimes in relationships

you can beef about things and you only address issues when you're mad. But when things are going well, sometimes you don't acknowledge it. You just roll with it. And I do try to be very intentional, even with the juice bar. Like when the employees, the juice bar looks great right now, you know, I go in

there. I think it's important for people to let people know when they are doing a great job and when things are well. Because I think sometimes we have a habit of only expressing ourselves when we're being critical. Yeah, we're talking, you know, in a relationship as far as cheating is concerned, right? And faithful. So, I think that you don't give credit. That's what you're supposed

to do. It's kind of like, you know, when you talk about fathers, be like, yeah, I watched the kids. They're your kids, you know? Or I did this. That's what you're supposed to do. So I don't think it sounds good. I kind of understand that, though, because imagine you've been in a really bad relationship. He was cheating on you all the time. And now you're with somebody who's faithful, makes you feel good, secure.

You might be like, yeah, I just want to thank you. Like just because I've never experienced this before. Thank you for doing what you're supposed to. Yeah, sometimes it is. Like giving somebody credit for being great. Because a lot of people aren't. Yeah, you know, I don't think you should get credit for what you're supposed to do. But as I told Reason, I give myself credit for doing what I'm supposed to do.

And the reason I give myself credit is because being faithful to my lady has been part of my healing process. You know, I'm only speaking for me here. When I was running the streets, sleeping around with other women, it was leading, it was me leading with my ego. You know, it was me feeding my ego. Being with a bunch of different women gave me a false sense of purpose. It gave me a false sense of security. See, when you empty on the inside,

you look for things to pour into you to fill you up. But what you quickly realize is you will never be truly full because you have a hole inside of you. So whatever you put inside of you doesn't stay inside of you. So you have to fix that hole. You have to repair that hole. You have to heal that hole. And once you do that, you realize you don't even need to feed your ego. You need to feed your soul. So I'm the type of person, I don't like lying to people. I can't be a hypocrite, even though I know we are all walking contradictions. I don't like to be. So I can't come home to my wife and kids knowing I'm living foul because doing that causes more anxiety because I'm watching my back in my own house trying to keep

my dirt a secret. And I got anxiety because you start thinking, well, if I'm doing all this dirt, what is my wife doing behind my back? And then you get depressed because you know you a liar and you know you a cheat. And for me, I started really going to a really dark place because I did not want to be like my daddy and break up my family because I couldn't keep my penis in my pants. And when I say I give myself credit, I give myself credit because that was a change I decided to make to be a better version of myself. And when I tell you four years later, because I have not cheated since October of 2016, when I tell you I feel whole and I feel healed and so many blessings have rained down on me because I chose to do the right

thing, yes, I give myself credit for that, but I don't look for credit from my wife. You can, but she shouldn't give you no credit. That's what you're supposed to do. Let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, what's up, bro? What's going on, man? Do you think you should get credit for

being faithful? Of course, man, but the problem on, man? Do you think you should get credit for being faithful? Of course, man. But the problem is men don't get credit for nothing nowadays. Anything we do is what we're supposed to do. So what should we do? We do the laundry. We be a good husband. All that's all you're doing is being a good husband. You're doing your job.

Maybe us as men need to form our own support groups and we need to have our own sober coin for cheating. You know what I'm saying? And maybe we should just encourage each other. Yeah. That's what I think we're missing here. This shouldn't be about our woman giving us credit for not cheating. We should, as men, give

ourselves credit for not cheating. Because we know the struggle. Oh, yeah. That sounds a little crazy too. We should give ourselves credit for doing something. That's like struggle. Oh, yeah. That sounds a little crazy, too. We should give ourselves credit for doing something. That's like saying, yeah, I'm giving myself credit for watching my kids, damn it.

Yes, I did that. Look at us show kids. That's what you're supposed to do. But yes, I agree with you, but I still think men have to encourage men. You know what I mean? Because we've had such

a false perception of what manhood has been for so long. You know what I mean? Think about how we used to pat each other on the back for sleeping with a bunch of chicks. Oh, you hit that? Yo, my... You know what I mean? Because we've had such a false perception of what manhood has been for so long. You know what I mean? Think about how we used to pat each other on the back for sleeping with a bunch of chicks. Oh, you hit that? Yo, my. You know what I'm saying?

Don't put me involved in the things you talk about. It's like, yo, now you got to give your brother dap. Like, yo, you home? That's what I'm talking about, King. You know what I'm saying? Like, for real. Nobody ever gives you dap for, yo, you watched your kids today? Yo, high five.

Like, come on. I ain't talking about the kids. The kids, I ain't got nothing to do with that. I'm talking, high five. Like, come on. I ain't talking about the kids. The kids, I ain't got nothing to do with that. I'm talking about being with your woman, your wife. I ain't talking about the kids. 850-585-1051. Should we get credit or should men get credit for being faithful? That is the question for us now.

He took himself out that Wii fast. Goddamn right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, if you just joined us, we're asking, should men get credit for not cheating? Now, this came from Reason, who stopped through earlier, and this is what he said. I feel like women should give men that are faithful credit for that. Like, women will act like it's the same thing as a woman being faithful. It's just not the same thing. I feel like it just doesn't come up. If your man isn't cheating on you, then you're not talking about it because everything's fine, like, with that. True, but I'm just saying, like, if you have not talking about it because everything's fine. Like with that. True.

But I'm just saying, like, if you have a dude and he's faithful, like, I think that like you don't necessarily have to say thank you for being faithful. You don't got to say thank you for being faithful. I'm just saying that. It should be looked at and given credit to. Like I said, I give myself credit because it's part of my healing process and I'm not feeding my ego anymore. I'm feeding my soul. And I truly can say it's made me a better human. So I give myself credit. I don't look for my wife to give me credit. I never tell my boyfriend, thank you for not cheating, but I do try to show my appreciation for him just being good and like stepping up all the time. If

I tell him I don't like something, he tries to fix it however he can. So I appreciate that. Cheating's never been an issue, though. Alright, well let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Malaya. Hey, Malaya. Malaya, you're a liar. Oh boy.

Malaya. 585-1051 for everybody out there. So we're asking, do you give your man credit for not cheating? First of all, let me start by saying this. I feel like that's a lot of men's problem nowadays. Like, they feel like they should get credit for something that should automatically be done. And that's like saying, like, oh, I'm going to give you a cookie for taking the trash out. Like, no.

If you're being in a relationship, that's a part of being in a relationship, like being faithful. And a lot of men these days think it's okay not to be faithful. So, of course, they think that they should be praised for being faithful. Listen, I get it. Listen, like I said, I'm not looking for my woman to give me credit, you know, for being faithful. But I have to give myself credit only because, you know, I know what choice I made and why I made it, and I'm happy that I stuck to that choice.

And what about the woman? It's the same thing for the woman. Yeah, do we get credit? I mean, if you was a cheater? Yeah. If you was out there being a whore. You know, we get to holler that every day. Like, you know how many men be in my inbox,

like, on a regular? Like, I don't get credit for being faithful. There's a lot of don't get that. But it's a difference between being hollered at and actually being out there active, to be out there actively doing it and to say, you know what, I'm not going to do that anymore because this is going to end up ruining my family. Just to make that choice as a man, to be intentional about not cheating, yes.

I give myself credit for that. She wants some credit, man. People trying to holler at her and she's not falling for it. Give her some credit. But were you out there popping your poom poom before? Was you out there sleeping with a bunch of men and then you stopped? It doesn't have to be that. Yes, it does.

No, that's how you feel. But she might feel like I've not liked that in my relationship and I haven't been. Give me some credit. I can't pat you on the back for being credit. I can't pat you on the back for being sober. I can't pat you on the back for being sober if you was never out there

getting drunk. Y'all don't be making no sense. You guys are arguing with each other. Hello. Thank you. Thank you, Mama. Enjoy your Halloween. I'll give you credit, girl.

Thank you, too. Hello, who's this? He's Malaya. Alexis. Hey. Hey, Alexis. We're asking 800-585-1051 for everybody out there

we're asking do you give your man credit for not cheating yes I do I feel like women who have men that don't cheat I feel like we all give them credit but we try not to do so much in our circles because we all got friends that get cheated on

and it's like rubbing it in so we don't constantly rub it in but it doesn't go unnoticed right do you tell them like i appreciate that you have never cheated on me i don't actually use those words i just do stuff like you know like the lingerie the special little night for no reason. You get what I'm saying? Like, you show your appreciation. I don't think those words even sound right. Yeah, it's weird. But I agree with you.

That's why you show your appreciation. And when you're not, you don't have cheating as an issue in your relationship, things can be so much smoother. Yeah, like you're not going through something to where it's even a conversation. You just have a day-to-day routine that flows. All right. Thank you, Mama. So what's the moral of this story that you guys are bringing up on this halloween this family uh holiday i don't know if it's a moral but i do say i'm not looking for credit for um you know my significant

other i give myself credit because it's part of my healing process and like i said i was out there leading with ego feeding my ego when i stopped that and went on a real process of healing and mindfulness and being a better version of myself. And I said, I'm not cheating anymore because I don't want to be like my daddy. And I don't want to break up my family because I can't keep my penis in my pants. Yes, I give myself credit for making that choice and making that change and deciding to be a better version of myself. And for all the ladies out there that have been in past relationships that were toxic and men that couldn't stop cheating and you thought that all men are cheaters and now you're with somebody that you don't have those issues and worries, you know, just tell them thank you. All right.

Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes. And let's talk about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West and the present that he gave her for her birthday. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ and V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kim Kardashian. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report withela yee on the breakfast club

yes so kim posted for my birthday kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime a special surprise from heaven a hologram of my dad is so lifelike we watched it over and over filled with emotion and the hologram speaks here is her deceased deceased father, Robert Kardashian, with the hologram message. The most beautiful thing that I have witnessed is watching you grow your family. You married the most, most, most, most, most genius man in the whole world, Kanye West. You are the most, most, most, most amazing mother to your four beautiful children. And they are perfect. Keep doing what you're doing, Kimberly.

You are a beautiful soul. Know that I am very proud of you. And I'm always with you. I love you, Kimberly. Tell Courtney, Chloe, and Rob I love them and miss you all. Don't forget to say your prayers. Yo, drop one of Kool's bombs for Kanye West. That's fire.

I give Kanye hell for a lot of reasons, but that right there is an amazing, amazing gift. It's very thoughtful, like Kim said, and I know it costs a lot of money. You would much rather have something like that than a Birkin. I was thinking the same thing.

All them women asking for Birkins. Wouldn't you rather have that instead? Stop asking for a Birkin. Give me a hologram. Word. That's right. And if you would rather love, if you would rather your Birkin over a hologram of your deceased father, you never loved your daddy.

Word. All right, now let's talk about Khloe Kardashian. She was on with Ellen, and she was discussing Kim's 40th birthday party. People were upset about it on social media, as we discussed previously. And here's what she had to say. This year is a frustrating year. I get it. But also, it's her 40th, and this is something that she really wanted to do. And being there,

like with all the precautions and everything that we took and how grateful everybody was for the tourism aspect of it and how so many people said that we were their first party or guest that they've had in months and what it's done like for them to be able to pay their bills or to do stuff for their family. I mean, just hearing those messages when we were there, we felt really good and we felt so safe. And we did it in the safest way I could imagine someone doing it. She also talked about co-parenting with Tristan. So they're making it happen.

Looks like they're back together. And for everybody with a Netflix account, people are upset because apparently the prices are going up on Netflix. So they raised the prices of their standard and premium plans. So now it went from $12.99 for a standard to $13.99. And the premium went from $15.99 to $17.99 per month. Just a FYI. You're not going to cancel it?

You're not going to cancel it? Netflix is too much a part of the culture. We love Netflix. We like the Netflix and chill. Ain't nobody out here talking about Hulu and Parlaying or HBO Maxing and Relaxing, even though that could work. But Netflix and chill, that's part of the culture. Y'all not getting rid of Netflix. All right.

The basic plan, though, the entry-level basic plan still is $8.99 per month. Now, Malik Beasley from the Timberwolves, he has been charged with pointing an assault rifle at a family. And they were, I guess, doing a homes tour or something like that. And apparently they approached his rental home in Minneapolis in the suburb of Plymouth. And he and his girlfriend went to the car, I guess, and he had a gun. And so they called the police on him. Now he's being charged with fifth degree drug possession and felony threats of violence. And his girlfriend is being charged with fifth degree drug possession also. They have a one and a half year old son together. So the Timberwolves did release a statement.

They said, we are aware of the charges involving Malik Beasley. We take these allegations seriously and will let the legal process run its course. I would say I don't like how they do those tours, those home tours. Is that what you're talking about? People get on the bus and they drive by celebrity houses? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, they were in an SUV. That's not nice, man. They shouldn't do that. His house was roped off. So they were sitting

in their SUV and they said he allegedly approached the vehicle with an assault rifle, tapped on the window, and told the family to get the F off his property. I mean, don't he have the right to do that, though? If they own his property? I don't know what you're here for. I don't know you on a tour. I don't know. You just say, you know, things are on a tour. I don't know you just say, you know, things are crazy right now.

I also don't understand why all of these celebrities' houses are publicly listed like that. I mean, it's easy to find. One person sees you at your house, your neighbor sees you at your house, all they do is put it up there one time. The UPS delivery person brings a package to your house.

FedEx delivery guy, so it's not that difficult. Uber Eats. True. All right, T.I. has addressed the reaction to his lyrics on We Did It Big, where he addresses his friend urinating on Drake. Listen to this.

All right, well, here's what T.I. had to say about that Drake lyric while he was on with Complex News. I don't feel necessarily a need to hunt him down and interrupt his day to ask him why he unfollowed me. Like, if it's an issue and, you know, someone feels a certain kind of way and just has a disagreement and we have, you know, some form of an interaction, my number's the same. But I don't have

no real motive to weaponize an accidental incident against him. And I hope he's intelligent enough and aware enough to understand that.

Yeah, I agree with Tip. It's just rap. Like, you know, like, why would you take that personal? You know what I'm saying? It's something that actually happened, you know, that I guess people know about.

So it's not like he rapped about it to try to diss you. He rapped about it because it was part of his life experience. Just like when Drake talked about dating SZA. What if SZA would have unfollowed Drake? She might have. She might have been mad about that. I thought she said that she didn't care or something like that. I don't know.

Whatever, man. She just was, she actually did correct the timing of what he said. You know, I guess it wasn't whatever years that he said, but she did unfollow him. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right.
